They are hydraulic complexes that get variable flow resources, but of high quality, and in their operation become models of sustainable use of water, as they stream and use the water table near the surface, without energy cost. Only those flows that after rainfall are included in the deposits of sand and gravel of river beds can be achievable, resources that are renewed after each episode of rainfall. On the northern limit of the Prelitoral Depression, the one of the Rambla de Béjar and, those of Los Cotes-Cegarras and Caño-Contracaño in Rambla de Nogalte remain active. They are local systems that produce own water resources in dry environments, models of sustainable water use in climate change scenarios.</p>}, number={18}, journal={Agua y Territorio / Water and Landscape}, author={Gómez-Espín, José María}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={5–20} }
